Foremost and Water Conservation
What We're Doing...
» EPA Watersense
Foremost has partnered with the EPA's WaterSense program and we've manufactured WaterSense-certified toilets that can save a family of four over 16,000 gallons of water per year.
» Alliance for Water Efficiency
Foremost is also a member of the Alliance for Water Efficiency, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to the efficient and sustainable use of water. They serve as a North American advocate for water efficient products and programs and provide information and assistance on water conservation efforts.
» Water-Saving Toilets
We recognize how severely our environment is threatened by drought. In response to this problem, Foremost has focused on manufacturing high-performance water-saving toilets, know as High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs). View all Foremost HET Toilets.
Why Water Conservation?
- 36 US states anticipate extreme water shortages within the next 5 years due to rising temperatures, population growth, drought and excess use.
- Water is a finite resource—even though about 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water, less than 1 percent is available for human use.
- The average household spends as much as $500 per year on their water and sewer bill and can save about $170 per year by installing water-efficient fixtures and appliances. Calculate your potential savings.
- WaterSense labeled toilets use 20-35% less water per flush, but perform as well as or better than today's standard toilets and older toilets that use much more water.
- Replacing just one old fixture with a water-saving toilet can save up to 4,000 gallons of water a year per person.
